Overview of class

This is the first quarter of the Advanced General Chemistry sequence. The overall course goal is to learn both fundamental theory and applications concerning the chemistry of molecules and materials. The fall quarter covers atomic and molecular structure, electronic states, electronic spectroscopy, quantum mechanics, chemical bonding theory and the descriptive chemistry of both main group elements and transition metals. In addition, the bonding and structural properties of gases, liquids and solids are studied, as is radiochemistry, nanomaterials, and transition metals in biology.
